i started playing around with some of my usual ingredients the other night and stumbled upon my new favorite (versatile) dressing.
One of the main ingredients it nutritional yeast which is a good source of B vitamins and some nutritional yeasts are fortified with B12. It contains 18 amino acids and is a complete protein. And, get this: a whopping 8 grams of protein in one and a half tablespoons! It gives a cheesy, nutty flavor to the game. I also use raw tahini which is a nutritional powerhouse on its own. It’s easily digestible because its high alkaline mineral content neutralizes the acid end products of the protein. Because of its non-acid nature, tahini is an ideal protein source for people with weak digestive systems and is an excellent source of quick energy for active people and athletes.
Jam-packed with nutrients and flavor, this is one to try!
Doris’ Magic Dressing
Ingredients
* 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
* 1 1/2 T olive oil
* 1 T Agave (or 1 date)
* 1 T tamari
* 1-2 T water
* 1 T raw tahini
* 1 clove garlic
Instructions
Put all ingredients in blender (I use my Magic Bullet for all my dressings) and blend until smooth and creamy. Add more/less water for desired consistency.
I used this as a sauce on top of shredded beets, carrots, zucchini, and yellow squash on a bed of spinach and topped with some sprouts and green onion. yum! Then, the next night I used it as a traditional salad dressing on a big green salad. I see it working beautifully on kelp noodles with chopped (dehydrated if you have time!) broccoli for a more Asian flare or shredded cabbage or zucchini noodles or … the possibilities are endless :)
It’ll keep bottled in your fridge for about 4-5 days.
Full disclosure: i may or may not have been found in my kitchen drinking this from the blender cup…
